We live in a changing world.
Artists' with enormous followings are no longer going platinum.. We're approaching the 1st FULL generation of people who've never had to worry about getting I.D.'d while buying an "explicit content" album.. Hell.. Most of them haven't had to buy an album at all.
What we're doing is setting up meetings dealing with getting recognized amidst the mess out there we call "the industry".
With guest speakers, discussions and sharing stories we can strengthen the bonds of our own scene and let it loose into the outside world.. Knowing full well that we'll all be prepared.
We'll continue to host shows, events and putting out compilations on a regular basis so submissions are always welcome.
Pick your track (make sure it's around 5 minutes, the closer the better) and send it in the highest quality MP3 (or YouSendit.Com it as a wav) you can to: ATXUnderground@gmail.com.
Beyond that we're open for anything!.. Any ideas, requests and beyond are more than welcome.. Remember.. We're here for all of you..
If you would like to see some specfic content feel free to e-mail us and let us know.
And remember.. We're ALWAYS looking for new bands and talent to include.
